It’s literally been years since I have posted anything on this blog, but recently a few people asked for my recipe for a zucchini bake I made and I thought this would be the best way to share it. So I beg here for some leniency on my recipe writing skills. I am a home […]
Last weekend I decided to surprise my husband by whisking him away for a quick overnight trip to Asheville North Carolina! We hadn’t been away without our son in a long time and truly needed some adult time. Some people when they do this kind of a trip like to fly by the seat of their […]
I might have a slight obsession with Pinterest and the other day I am trolling around and I find this article http://bit.ly/1XUDjfd from last year that someone had pinned from Parenting.com. As I am reading about what photos of your child you shouldn’t be posting on Social Media, I am thinking in my head, oops, […]

Saturday I hosted a Baby Sprinkle (a shower for a second baby) for a good friend at Indigo Kitchen in Montclair New Jersey. http://www.indigosmoke.com/ Food was great, company was great, but gotta say the favors rocked my world! A friend had told me about this baker on Long Island who goes by the name The Sugar […]

Since my little Munchkin started eating real food, I am always looking for something his two little teeth can handle. So out of laziness, I started buying precooked frozen […]
First things first, I must thank today’s frittata for allowing me to break in my new 14″ saute pan!!!! It’s HUGE and I love it!!!! A few years back, I was looking for quick and easy brunch recipes that were low in carbs and had found a Rachel Ray recipe that ended up being my […]
